Computational Fluid Dynamics and its recent applications

Image
                    The numerical solution method is used in fluid flow analysis in computational fluid dynamics. Using CFD, you're able to analyze complex problems involving fluid-fluid, fluid-solid, or fluid-gas interaction. Engineering fields where CFD analyses are frequently used are for instance aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, where quantities such as lift and drag or field properties as pressures and velocities are obtained. Fluid dynamics committed physical laws in the form of partial differential equations . History of CFD                     Computational fluid dynamics comprise a replacement approach /"third approach" within the study and development of the whole discipline of fluid dynamics. In the 17th century, the foundations for experimental fluid dynamics were arranged in France and European countries. There was a gradual development seen in theoretical ...

Significance of Thermodynamics in Engineering

Image
                    Thermodynamics developed out of curiosity of the famous scientist Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot (1824) who believed that the efficiency of the machines and weapons could be achieved by the temperature control of the devices. Thermodynamics started in this way and soon became very important in any Engineering field.                      Nowadays, thermodynamics is the basis of any engineering branch. The first law of Thermodynamics applies to any energy conversion process. So, any engineering process related to heat transfer and power generation utilizes this law. Similarly, the second law of thermodynamics is used in power generation cycles, as it deals with reversible and irreversible processes. Therefore, in any branch of engineering, thermodynamics plays a vital role. Thus studying Thermodynamics is very important in the engineering domain. Th...

TYPES OF SPRINGS

Image
                    Spring is an elastic object that stores mechanical energy. In our day-to-day life, this term usually refers to coil springs, but there are many types of springs used in various mechanical industries. Springs are mainly classified based on their shapes. Some of the types are as follows: Helical spring The most popular type of spring is helical spring. These springs are made from a wire, usually of circular cross-section, which is bent to form a helix. Compression spring The types of springs that are designed to resist compression are called helical compression springs. They are often used in absorbing shock in motors and other machines, including a car's suspension and clutch mechanisms. Extension spring When the spring is designed in a way that externally applied force tends to elongate the helical spring, the spring is called an extension spring. Extension springs are used in automotive interiors, va...
